Gathering of the Four: Book One of the Serrulata Saga by A.E. Bennett
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Gathering of the Four is the first book in the Serrulata Saga. The author knows their way around words. I will be looking forward to the next book.
Leora is tired of being at home. She learns that her parents have plans for her. Plans she isn’t comfortable with. So instead of sticking around she runs. On her run she finds three others and together they make a family of their own. The quote I chose for Leora is: “I fell coming back the first time.”

Bennett-Review by Amanda Kimble
Leora of Mae is a young woman of nineteen and only half a year from her majority when she can decide her own future, leave the home she has grown up in and the family who has raised her since she was orphaned at a young age. The father was kind to her and didn’t treat her with the same contempt which his wife and her son, as well as the rest of the inhabitants of Mae, this is because she is Xanthi and because of this and the fact that she can wield Xancraft, she was ostracised, but when she overhears a conversation that they were going to sell her, she uses that craft and escapes, running as far and as quickly as she can because if she doesn’t the alternative is being sold into Servantry and losing her freedom, followed by her life.
Leora knows that she is breaking the Edicts of the Realm, but has no idea what that means until she is put into danger when she is found, but when she uses her Xancraft, she breaks the cardinal Edict “Every citizen knows their place”, but one good thing comes of it, she meets a fellow traveller, Roland Shallowbrook of Charm City and a member of the Thieves Road. As they travel together, they try and stay under the radar by travelling through the woods and relying on their wits and skills, however, when they run into fellow travellers Lady Aurora Verte, a member of the gentry class and Sir Leopold, a White Rider with a secret, they learn that they are not the only ones hiding in plain sight.
As the Hale-Bopp Comet grace’s the sky above these four travellers have to learn to trust each other and embark on a journey none expected, but will they be able to keep from letting their emotions cloud their judgement, or will prejudice and past experiences tear them apart? This is a fantasy adventure where strangers have to work together to survive when they are thrown together in the most unusual of circumstances, in this engaging and addictive story.

Bennett – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
All was well in the Amy’s world, albeit life wasn’t easy, she had her daughter and that was what mattered, the fleeting relationships with men, drugs, sadness and a slow spiral into the darkness were just that, fleeting, she still had her mothers love and support, until one day it all changed and the virus took hold. At first it was contained and there were only a few infected to start with, but as soon as it took hold, people started changing, they called it Necrosis and suddenly it was everywhere and it terrified Amy.
She knew it was a bad idea to try and get to her mother as soon as she entered the city, but she had pushed and now she was looking at her necrotic mother and freezing, just like every other time she was faced with violence, but this time, she had something to defend, this time, she had to protect her daughter and that was all that mattered. So muttering an apology, she put her mother out of her misery and escaped her childhood home before more of the infected could get to them, now they just needed to get back to the truck and get the hell out of there, but nothing is as easy as first thought.
They managed to get back to the truck, but there was also a need for supplies, so while it was quiet and infected free, Amy decides to see if there is anything to scavenge, but unfortunately, she is betrayed and this leads to confrontation and risk, especially when the infected breach the shop next to the truck and her daughter is in danger again. This time Amy is prepared to do anything to get to her and devises a plan to distract the infected so that she can get to the truck, but can she get there before the other parade of the infected get to her? Can Amy keep them both alive and escape the city before it is too late? This is a dystopian apocalyptic tale which plumbs the depths of a mothers love in ensuring the survival of her child in a world filled with danger around every corner, it pulls you in and keeps you on edge throughout, as you follow along this story which is perfect for the horror lovers out there.
This book had such great development!! It really sucks you in. The story of three college friends and how their relationships develop and change. There was a large focus on race and contained quite a few triggering topics such as suicide, domestic violence, and kidnapping.
Though I would recommend this book as a stand alone book, I wish I would have read the first book first. I think I would have been interested from the minute I picked it up instead of having to give it a few chapters.

The Hunter: An Enemies to Lovers Romance (The Freemasons Book #2) by Nicole Flockton
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. The author sure knows how to keep readers coming back to her. I absolutely loved this book. Enemies to lovers has always been a favorite of mine. The Hunter is the second book in The Freemasons Series.
Dominic is the leader of the Freemasons and he’s trying to figure out why Gemma wants to take down Freemasons. Then he finds her at a party she wasn’t invited to. How will things work out for him when he finds himself falling for her? The quote I chose for Dominic is: “Doesn’t matter what you want, Gemma Hughes. You’re coming with me. End of story.”
Gemma goes to the party for one thing and one thing only. Take down the Freemasons. She knows she might lose her job over this, but it’s a risk worth taking. Then she runs into the one person she didn’t want to see. The quote I chose for Gemma is: “Well, it seems awfully convenient you happen to have a key to a hotel room. Plus, it looked like you were going solo tonight. Why is that? Dominic Cacciari is never without some brainless woman hanging off his arm.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

This is the first book in the Falling For The Rockstar’s Daughter Series. Silly me was not aware that this story was going to continue. I had stupidly assumed that it was a standalone novel and now I can’t wait to read the next stage of Wil and El’s story. I don’t do patience very well. Can I blame the author for making me love this too much? Hell, no. I love this author. Will and El’s story is one I fell in love with straight away. They are both amazing characters that are so relatable and utterly adorable. If you love a good, clean and very heartwarming romance then this book will be right up your street. Now, I love a good erotic romance too but sometimes a nice wholesome romance that gives you the warm and fuzzies inside is just what you need. This story flowed really well and you are taken on a great adventure through the music industry and the joys (or not) of having famous parents. I can’t believe that I’ll have to wait to read more of Wil and El but I’m sure this author will make it well worth the wait.

This book made my Mama heart swell up with happiness. It truly shows how selfless a mama can be. It doesn’t matter if you share the same blood when a baby needs you, you help. I really lived this book so so much.

From the very beginning, Hester is a captivating character. Her willful spirit is admirable and she maintains those traits even when she goes through the hard times alone and her situation seems bleak. The relationship between her and her mentor Aaron grows into something more as he teaches her how to make healing ointments and tinctures through herbal lore like her great grandmother before her once did. Hester’s mother sees this as silly folklore and suspicious witchcraft and tries to steer Hester towards a more “appropriate” craft. When Hester makes choices that have some ruinous consequences regarding the opinion of society, she’s left to face those consequences alone but not as alone as you might think. There is a mystery throughout this book that leaves you with something to think about once it is finished. I still have questions; and yet, this book goes right into the top 5 of the best witchy vibe books with feminist themes such as self reliance and empowerment that I have ever read.
I really enjoyed this book. Its a short read but it is action packed. The author does an amazing job with the characters and the story. As a reader I was completely captivated by the story. This is the story of Captian Ravenna Joyner and Dravos Trax. Captain Ravenna is a strong independent woman. She’s female in a male dominated Job but she holds her own and proves time and again she is as good as any man. When the ship containing her lover goes missing she joins the team sent out to find out what happened and bring her lover home. To do this they need the help of a prisoner to search for the ship and crew. The prisoner is a tracker called Dravos. What Dravos doesn’t realise until its too late is that Ravenna is his fated mate. When they find the ship and the crew didn’t survive Ravenna and Dravos realised that they need to work together if they have a chance of survival and as the attraction and connection between them grows will Ravenna keep denying the possibility of being Dravos’s fated mate or Will she only give in and realise when it’s too late.

The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars By: C. L. Schneider
The story The Crown of Stones: Magic-Scars by C.L. Schneider is a fantasy book. This is the second book of The Crown of Stones trilogy. Ian Troy, the main character, has been captured by his old enemy, King Draken of Langor. He was kidnapped and the kidnapper did everything imaginable towards him, looses his magic by the drug he was given. But then he is rescued and as his body heals and rids itself of the drug he was given, he realizes that he has returned to an unfamiliar world gripped in fear. The ones he left he realizes they have been trying hard on their own. Ian is struggling to reconcile the man he has become, with the man he once was. He strives to understand the growing number of magic-scars adorning his body and he searches for the truth behind his link to the Crown of Stones. He soon uncovers secrets that have been buried for generations and finds to become the weapon the resistance needs, he must assume responsibility for his magical inheritance.
This is an amazing second book in The Crown of Stones series. The story is told from Ian Troy’s POV. As in the last book, through memories and flashbacks, Ian starts to remember what he did while he was held a prisoner and of his life before as well. He blames himself for things that he has done while in captivity. The feel of Ian’s character has changed a bit. This is due to his captivity and the drug that he was on constantly. Ian is such a likable character and I can say that some of the things that happen to him saddened me. He has many friends and acquaintances who help him and believe that any hope they have of freedom lies with him. This is truly a fast-paced, action-packed, magical journey through a world that is in fear and needs rescuing. There are battle scenes and adult situations that include hot, love scenes.

Schneider – Review by Kimberly Wilkinson
This is a new author for me and so I was excited when a friend recommended this to me. She blew me away. She drew me in from the beginning and I could not put this book down. I loved the romantic love triangle that resulted in twists and turns especially between twin brothers. But the ending was perfect. If you like romantic, steamy love novels then this is a must read for you. This was the first book in this series, and I look forward to seeing where the author takes us in the next book.
Salvatore Larussio, is the next in-line to become the Mafia Boss in Las Vegas. Dr. Adrianna Palento took a job working at the Larusso’s Casino in the Urgent Care. She’s responsible for treating the hotel’s guests, when they need it, but she also is responsible for patching up any of the family when they get injured. Dr. Palento gets used to the never ending rotation in the urgent care. When a bloodbath takes place at a family wedding, inside the hotel, many of the family members are injured, and need to go into hiding to hide from the police. Many of them are led into the hidden tunnels below ground, where there’s a hidden safe house and hospital area. Because of the injured, Dr. Palento is also taken to the tunnels, so that she can assist, but secrets she’s been hiding for a very long time get revealed. Will this lead her to her death? Will all be forgiven by the family? Will the tension between Adrianna and Salvatore be their undoing?
This book was really good, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one in this series.

I absolutely loved this books and plan on finding more from this author!
The characters came to life in my mind so vividly as I read that I felt myself in the story living the plot. The characters were raised polar opposites, but in any good story opposites attract! The story takes enough twists and turns that my attention was kept the whole time and even though I felt like the story was complete I wanted more!

Tori Foster, the daughter of saddle bronc rider Justin Foster, has one big dream that she has been keeping a secret from her family, including her father. There are only a few friends who know about her big dreams, and plans. Cord King, son of another famous Bronc Rider, but also one of the newest rookies on the rodeo circuit has his eyes on the prize, and wants nothing but to be the best of the best. When Tori decides to debut her bronc riding abilities that she has been practicing in secret, it catches many people off guard, including Cord. Will these two be enemies in and out of the arena? Will they overcome jealousy to help each other out? Will they become a distraction to each other? I was shocked to find that this was the 6th book in this series. I can’t wait to go back and reread the first 5 books, because this book got me hooked!

As with all this author’s books, she can teach kids a lesson using animals. This one was with birds. It was a nice and different choice of an animal. I love that she taught about love and caring for all animals even if they are not your own. There was a little sadness involved, but it helped tell the story of hope so that made up for the tear that I may have shed. Depending on the age of the child there may be questions of why that you will have to answer, but I think it will provide a parent or teacher with a teaching moment. I love the illustrations that she provides with the story as they are always so cute. The colors are always so vivid which I love.

This book held me right to the very end. I will be going back to read the previous book for sure, but I was able to follow and understand this 2nd book perfectly well! I was captivated the entire time I read!
Something I appreciated about this book, is how the author shows that when things go unexpected or bad, it does not define who you are or the life that is ahead of you. The two girls, Tilly and Kate, had faced things that they should not have had to go through, but yet they did. Where they are now, is because they worked thru the stuff, and they lived the lift they wanted. It wasn’t easy for them, but they did it. To me that was really empowering. The book had its own power, I was hoping for the best for the two of them. How could I not? The author took a hard subject to talk about, and completely nailed it. This was a really strong read, and I felt my emotions, yes, I could not put it down. I loved the author’s writing! Loved this book!
This book is by far a must read in my opinion! I could not have asked for more! I will be for sure reading the first book in the series! Do not pass up this must read author or book/series! Highly recommend!

Loved this book and the dynamic between Raf and Ellie. They begin as friends, both secretly wanting the other but factors such as Raf’s past and Ellie’s brother are standing in their way. But even with the speed bumps, when they finally connect we are given a steamy romance that just keeps getting better. I didn’t realize this was a third book in the series and I loved getting to know the characters of Moon Harbor and will have to read about their stories now. I did enjoy the added suspense the author unraveled but it was a bit of an easy mystery to resolve with little fanfare surrounding it. Great read!

This story was incredible from beginning to its conclusion. It was full of intrigue, and characters that held strong character development and personality, but as well as greatly adding to the story.
The book had a good mix of things. Romance, dangerous suspense, twists and turns, battling for what you hold dear, and etc. I loved Ommity as a character. She was strong and someone that was impossible not to admire. She was new to the game, but she still gave everything she faced, her all. Loved Link as well as a character. When they both had “scenes” together, I was constantly rooting for them! I enjoyed the writing of this wonderful author very much. They knew how to draw you in, and this book was mesmerizing, and intense at times. It really was a great and valuable read. It was epic, if you want to use my dictionary! Loved it!
Fantastic read that really satisfied your mind. I could not get enough. I will be reading more by this author for sure! Definitely a must read book and author! Highly recommend both! Truly a rare gem of a read!

Such a fun book! Pets and romance definitely mix! I knew from the start it was going to be a mess with Hudson and Georgia, but a mess I looked forward to watching. All the ways in which they are connected, whether it was through friends, the pet influencer challenge or just bumping into each other, you could tell there was something between them. It was super sweet to see Hudson kind of fall in love right from the beginning, he couldn’t get Georgia off his mind and even though they were opposites, they definitely attracted. His brother Bryce is a real piece of work and his dad Walker, yikes, but they made for interesting additions to the story. Definite recommendation!

Emotional roller coaster Lost for words. This book is an amazing quick read. Raw, real and riveting this book will have you going through all the emotions. Amy is a formidable character, aware of her flaws but strong regardless. The setting is an apocalyptic zombie world and had me on the edge of my seat. This is a short story but packs so much between the pages. The sacrifices were plentiful. A must read! “I’m not crying, you are!”

Necrosis is a fast read that starts interesting and never slacks off. Amy, the main character, is easy to identify with and relate to. Going through a zombie apocalypse with her 9 year old daughter, Lila, brings out several life changing decisions. Sometimes she has to make choices that may cost her direly, or hurt someone else to save themselves. This seemed like a very realistic (given the circumstances) approach, and the choices were always real-life like scenarios. Friendships and her old life falls away, and basic survival instincts kick in. This is the 1st book I have read from this author, and I loved the writing style, world building, and character arcs. I absolutely recommend this to everyone, it was not too much horror or gore, and was very easy to follow!
A brilliant read! This is right up my street, a romance with a twist.
Twins both in love with the same girl. One is her childhood sweetheart before she disappeared from his life for 10 years, the other has been her shoulder to cry on, seeking comfort in each other.
Now years later she’s back. With all the secrets she’s carrying can she return and be forgiven for leaving? Which twin will she choose? Will they choose her?
It’s really well written with flashbacks thrown in and I didn’t know how it would end. Can’t wait for Part 2!

Just One More Egg: A Science Folktale (Science Folktale Series) by Lois Wickstrom is a cute children’s story that has an interesting storyline, colourful illustrations, a bit of adventure, educational elements, and a touch of drama to keep things interesting.

Operation Pinpoint is the first book in an exciting new series, Space Force Rejects, by Landra Graf. It is a sci-fi romance- a space adventure with plenty of action, danger, drama, intrigue, suspense, mystery, alien races, challenges, agendas, politics, violence, love, loss, humor, banter, finding love unexpectedly, and as expected from Ms. Graf, some incredible world building. I loved Ravenna and Dravos- and even though they were thrust together under uneasy circumstances, they really were perfect for each other. Both what the other needed to heal and become whole again. I really felt for what each of them experienced, and was rooting for them from the beginning. I was completely invested in them and the outcome of their story. I really can’t wait to continue the series! Happy Reading!

Nightfall in Deptford is the fourth book in the Crescent Moon Chronicles by L.E. Towne. Here I go again, diving into a series backwards. I was so caught up by the blurb and interesting cover, that I didn’t realise this was the fourth book in the series. Smh…. I soooo wish I had read the other books in this series before plunging into this one, as I suspect that knowing what happened previously would have elevated my reading experience of this book and taken it to a whole other level. Don’t get me wrong, this was a great read, and therein lies the problem…. I am seriously missing out by not having read the other books- but that is something I plan to remedy asap. I am more than intrigued by what might have happened in the previous three books, and will definitely be going back and reading them, as well as anything else Ms. Towne has produced. This is a fantastic historical urban fantasy with time travel, fae, magic, adventure, action, destiny, shifters, paranormal elements, the supernatural, dramatic developments, passion, life and death choices, high stakes, destiny, family, and a clever melding of fact and fiction. The story is skillfully woven, with wonderful world building, developing lots of threads and layers which all contribute to the depth and rich texture of the storyline that the author has cleverly crafted. I can see that the previous three books would have enriched my reading experience of this book as this continues a time travel story that began in book one. Although I was able to ‘catch up’ somewhat in this story, I still feel like I need to know what happened previously as I am sure all the books help to paint a much bigger picture.…. Circumstances have meant that Christopher Marlowe, famous 16th century playwright, and Tam Paradiso, a present-day homicide detective team up in a race against time, with challenges past and present, hard choices, threats, danger, and high stakes- all choreographed into quite a captivating story. I am looking forward to reading the previous book, as well as any future additions- can’t wait to see where things might lead. Happy Reading!

Towne</a><br/> My rating: <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5023170076″>4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br /> This was a decent book that kept me entertained. I will most likely go back and read the first three books of this series as I would like to get more background on the characters and their relationships. With that being said I did enjoy this book. Christopher Marlowe is about to meet his demise due to criminals and spies in the 1500s. The love of his life lives in present day Philadelphia and works as a detective. How is that possible you ask? Well, Tam is a time traveler who fixes snags in time. She is tasked with going back in time and fixing things that alter the future. She and her ex lover must go back and fix the timeline that coincides with Christopher’s demise as it has been altered. Will they be able to find who is behind the conspiracy? Will Tam be able to leave her beloved behind to die so things will happen as they should? Or will she risk destroying the future as she knows it by saving his life? <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>
